Cooking Fire Safety

 

Cooking equipment is the leading cause of reported home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Whether you are cooking the family holiday dinner or a snack for the children, practicing safe cooking behaviors will help keep you and your family safe.

Stay safe when cooking this Thanksgiving:

  • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food.
  • Use turkey fryers outdoors away from buildings and items that can catch fire.
  • Never use a turkey fryer in a garage or on a wooden deck.
